If I had my way I'd leave here today
I'd move in a hurry
I'd find me a place where I could stay
And not have to worry
A place I feel loose
Some place I could lose
These Tennessee blues
I'd find me a spot on some mountain top
With no one around me
With valleys and streams and birds in the trees
And lakes that surround me
A place I feel loose
Some place I could lose
These Tennessee blues
A place to forget all my regrets
Keep just the good times
Some place I could sleep in nothing but peace
And feel free at all times
A place I feel loose
Some place I could lose
These Tennessee blues
A place I could lose
These Tennessee blues
